[Nathan Barley] Fic: This Wasn't On My List

Jun 17, 2010 20:29

This Wasn't On My List
Dan/Jones, R, 986 words.
This is for the_reverand, who I made want Santa!Dan. It was supposed to be for the boosh_shorts holiday challenge, but it absolutely refused to be 200 words. It also absolutely refused to be the crack I was expecting and turned into a big angsty/soppy Roadtrip wank. :P Not with any actual wanking, though there is a bit of ( Read more... )

Oh, this is brilliant. Just brilliant. Now for some favorite lines ( ... )

*sings the 'didn't mean to make you cry' bit of Bohemian Rhapsody all off-key and horrible*

Dan does love the everliving crap out of Jones, but it's going to take a lot more years and a couple of broken bones for him to really come to terms with it. ;__;

Jones totally keeps even the really mad promises, always. That's part of why he's awesome. It's sort of a riff on the Kinder egg wagering thing, I guess. I know way too much about a guy who was in a show for five minutes. XD

<3 Thank you so much, my dear. *deposits neatly starched pile of monogrammed hankies just in case*

:') this...was beautiful. I love this verse. I loved this. Love...love...love :')))

It loves you back and makes you mince pies with little tiny records on top. <3

Groping and heartbreak and a total fucking lol at Quidditch/Wizard! :D I love these two, the way you write them, the way Dan always feels as if he's just happily pulled/swept along by Jones, and the history you've clearly got all worked out for them, Jones and his grandma and neon Jesus, which is so perfect and heart squeezy. :(

AND ANTLERS! :D

How did you turn crack Dan!Santa into something so wonderful!? <3

thirstyrobot June 18 2010, 03:03:32 UTC

I actually know people named Pony and Wizard. I guess that was cheating a bit. :P I'm so glad you liked this even if it didn't come out all cracky like it was supposed to. <3

Hehehe, as soon as I realized I could work the antlers in, there was no stopping it.

Also I just realized I will have to write the waitress at some point. ;__; But I want to play with them forever so that's wayyyy far off.

This was lovely and loving (no matter how Dan resists it) and sweet and sad. <3 Poor Reindeer Jones, I want to snuggle him.

thirstyrobot June 18 2010, 03:09:51 UTC

Thank you! <3 Dangerous prospect, snuggling a man in antlers. ;) Dan so loves him forever behind all the insecure/soon-to-be-self-loathing denial and it kind of kills me a little.

BEST CHRISTMAS IN JUNE EVER! I love the road trip 'verse, and you've got their voices so absolutely believable. And I love manipulative!Jones, and the bit with the Quidditch/Wizard confusion made me smile A LOT :D

thirstyrobot June 18 2010, 03:23:40 UTC

YAY, thank you! :D Manipulative!Jones is a dirty dirty boy that wanted this to just descend into pornville. I figure Jones talked about Harry Potter so much that all Dan could remember was that Wizard's name was 'something to do with Harry fucking Potter' and that's why he screwed it up. :P
